I don't think that it is so much no-fault divorce, as it is the two income, wait til we have enough money to have kids, couples.

Each person is totally independent and with no kids, if it's not paradise, they try again. Even with kids, the added independence of the working mom, makes it a lot easier.

True, the two-income family causes problems. I think, however, that it adds to the dysfunctional family as a whole (delinquint kids, latch-key kids fer example). However, the no-fault divorce arrangement allows couples to get divorced at the drop of a hat. Under the old arrangement, you could not get divorced unless either both parties agreed to it, or unless infidelity could be proven. By lowering the bar, as they have, states have actually encouraged the divorce industry, rather than discourage it. I don't think, by any means, that no-fault divorce is entirely to blame or even mostly to blame. I do believe that it has a significant impact, however.
